Byron Donalds’ campaign is blasting James Fishback’s last-minute sex-trafficking allegations as a “baseless and defamatory sideshow,” with Donalds’ spokesman calling the claims “completely false” and warning voters not to be distracted. Fishback, the legally troubled candidate trailing in the GOP primary, says a whistleblower-backed tip shows Donalds was tied to an alleged federal investigation involving Rep. Cory Mills — and claims, without proof, that Donalds paid women for sex in Maryland. The charge lands less than two weeks before the primary, as Fishback fights his own ethics baggage and debt troubles, while Donalds’ camp dismisses the attack as a desperate hit job.
